Description:Socially awkward nice guy Milton Smythe tries to hold together his marriage, despite the fact that his better half has recently died. As an ever tightening circle of snoopy neighbors, inept cops and priggish conformists close in on his secret, Milton plans the perfect anniversary celebration.

Despite its mixed reputation, I really like this movie. It’s funnier than Terminal City Ricochet (1990), more biting than most of John Waters’ 90s cult output, and a million times more coherent than The Dark Backward (1991). It’s a movie that celebrates social deviance and perversion while gleefully skewering social mores, authority and societal standards of decency. All while somehow straddling a delicate line between bad taste and good natured sweetness. Irreverent, absurdist and brimming with phantasmagorical imagery, this, my friends, is a keeper.
